fornis-His Life on the Rail and the
Quaint Drawings lie Has Made Of the
Old Engines.
When person considers that the country
is fairly gridironed with railroad tracks, that
the locomotive stands ready 10 take him TO
nearly any point he may wish 10 reach, that
the continent can be crossed in less than
week he can scarcely realize that the pas
senger locomotive is not yet sixty years old,
that only two generations have enjoyed the
facilities it affords. and that the engineer who
ran the locomotive Of the first passenger train
in New York state, David Matthew, still
lives.
MIR Matthew is now residing in California,
and in appearance greatly resembles the gen
eral whose portrait isfound in every southern
home Robert r. Lee.
Mr.. Matthew has devoted some time in his
declining years 10 preparing a series Of
sketches, in which he has depicted the evolu-
ton Of the locomotive. These sketche, have

The Baltimore Sun speaks some elo-
quent words in relation to the reputa-
ton of Picketts Division, which should
be a pride TO the entire country as an
heroic exhibition of courage, and the
Sun draws aplain distinction between the
ordinary quality of combatiye courage
and that which comes from high motives
and prompts us to duty at all hazards
Says the San
10 be courageous one must have "a
clear sense of right and duty. a desire TO
be Just, and the wil-power To make
sacrifices In the service of honor and of
duty. The absence Of courage implies a
more or less immoral and weak nature.
In the ordinary life of man he is besct by
many temptations TO the qualification of
his passions at the expense of others or
OF society. Sometimes he yields from AN
active impulse to selfindulgence: some
times from mere weakness, which units
him to resist temptation"

GEORGE AND HIS THEORY.

Henry George has an adversary and
rival in the person Of Gronlund, and II is
on the slate that these two champions
must soon tilt at each other with long
theories George goes for confiscating
all land and putting the telegraph and
railroads under the Government. Mr..
Gronland asks why stop at the lands, rail
roads, and telegraphs? Why not take the
capital and everything
Mr. George says IF ! am wrong, and
the changes advocate do not effect the
reforms / desire, then shall not hesitate
to seek those reforms by further changes,
perhaps in the direction which the Social
lists insist TO be the right one, perhaps in
some other direction"
IN the meantime to please Mr.. George
and his followers the country would be
no better of than a dog or cat put on
a surgeons table to be experimental on
with some fantastic un'ried idea Of
science
Before Gronlund's question Henry
George waivers, and says that If one ex-
pertinent fails he will try another.
The working men will be vastly bene-
fitted by This contest between the two
chiefs, and the conservative ones who
wish really to better their condition will
understand that passion, socialism, and
communism are not the ways to do IT,
